The Volkswagen Bus has been re-born as an electric vehicle that will run for about 186 miles on a single charge. It is supposed to fully charge in one hour at an electric charging station.
A top speed of 87 mph is electronically controlled.
It also boasts an iPad integration system that fastens to the dashboard of the car.
The ‘VW Bulli’ was introduced at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.
Porsche unveiled the new 918 hybrid spyder earlier this year. It boasts 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds with its mid engine 500 horsepower V8 (with 2 electric motors) and claims 78 mpg.
Top speed is suggested to be 198 mph, although I’ve also read that it will do over 200 mph.
As far as anyone knows, the specs are from Porsche and there is no indication of independent testing yet. Based on the Porsche RS Spyder, the estimated cost to own one of these will exceed $600,000 USD, and production could begin in about 2 years.
